Logistics ERP for Mexico
Logistics in Mexico connects the country manufacturing centers to domestic markets and international trade partners, with the CFDI carta porte (bill of lading complement) requirements adding a significant digital documentation layer to every goods movement. Since January 2024, the carta porte complement is mandatory and must accompany goods in transit on federal roads and highways. The complement requires detailed information including origin and destination, merchandise description with SAT product codes, vehicle and driver information, and geolocation waypoints for certain cargo types.
Logistics in Mexico
Customs management follows the Ley Aduanera, with the SAT administering import and export procedures through the VUCEM (Ventanilla Unica de Comercio Exterior Mexicano) single window system. The IMMEX program allows duty-free temporary importation for manufacturing and export. The Certified Company (Empresa Certificada) program provides trade facilitation benefits including reduced inspections and extended temporary import periods. Customs brokers (agentes aduanales) are required for most customs operations, and recent reforms have introduced the role of agencia aduanal (customs agency) as an alternative.
Mexico faces unique logistics challenges including security concerns on certain transport corridors, toll road infrastructure managed by CAPUFE and private concessionaires, and vehicle weight and dimension limits enforced by the SCT (Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes, now SICT). Hazardous materials transport follows NOM-002-SCT and NOM-010-SCT standards with specific vehicle, driver certification, and documentation requirements.
Yukti provides Mexican logistics companies with CFDI carta porte complement generation that includes all mandatory fields: origin and destination addresses, merchandise SAT product codes, vehicle specifications, driver RFC and license data, and weight documentation. The customs module integrates with VUCEM for pedimento filing, manages IMMEX temporary import tracking, and supports Certified Company program compliance documentation. Route planning accounts for toll costs on the Mexican highway system, security risk corridors, and SCT weight limits. The fleet module manages NOM hazardous materials compliance for applicable shipments. CFDI invoicing for freight services applies 16% IVA with the 4% IVA retention on freight transport services. Payroll handles driver compensation under the Federal Labor Law with IMSS contributions, road allowances (viaticos), and the specific working hour provisions for transport workers.
